I think we Saw you guys out the front couple weeks ago when we were driving past but wasn't sure. npw I know if I see you down there I'll be sure to say hello. Love the colours by the way Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2724Apr 03, 2014 6:25 am Yep that would have been us. We are always down there. Feel sorry for our builders lol but saying that I have laryngitis at the moment so they can just pretend they can't hear me lol. Thanks re the colours. If I have the right house you have the same if not very similar colour don't you? Would be great if you stop to say hi if we are out the front. Our diagonal neighbour was out there last night so we got to have a great chat with her and meet her son. We are going to be living in a great community, can't wait K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2725Apr 04, 2014 7:00 am We have a roof. Yayyyyy. Thinking bricks might come today ready to start next week. Well I'm hoping they do. Just need the rain to stay away for a little longer. Raining at night is fine just keep waiting until after 5pm everyday to rain that's fine by me. How long does it usually take to get the inside done once bricks are done?

Katiewaity Boo to no pouring James + ash! Hope it's not too big a delay and the rain stays away We managed to get the side path done on Thursday before the storm rolled through. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Keen to get the rest done asap but with this rain i dunno when that will happen my poor concretor must be hating this job at the moment with the amount of rain we have been having.

Great job so far. We'll be looking to pretty much do the same thing (same colour too, good taste haha) hope this rain disappears really soon!

We'll be looking to pretty much do the same thing (same colour too, good taste haha) hope this rain disappears really soon! Thanks Nat, this rain looks like it wants to hang around though checking the forecast it doesn't look good for this week hoping it does though my concretor wants to get it finished this week which would be nice. Any progress on yours? Heard anything form MJH ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Built the Nova with MJH completed Dec 2013 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2732Apr 07, 2014 8:15 am Yeah the forecast is looking pretty crap this week too! But don't think it will be as bad as the last couple of weeks (I hope). Today is looking like a glorious day though! I haven't heard anything yet, assuming I probably won't hear anything until they scrape and I have no idea when that will be! I've decided to just sit back and when things happen they happen, I know that this will be the worst of the waiting and when they finally start it will gain momentum but for now I just can't be bothered being upset about the lack of work when it's out of my control we will get there eventually and it will all be worth it in the end! Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2733Apr 07, 2014 8:27 am Funnily enough as I posted that last message I had a text from MJH saying that all orders have been placed and our file has been sent to supervisor who will now arrange construction to commence. I thought that would have happened whilst we were on the construction list, but I won't complain, progress is progress right?

Woah well I wouldn't know how to take that either but at least its a sign things 'should' be starting very soon, I've been keeping a watchful eye over your block waiting for something to happen like its my own haha ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Built the Nova with MJH completed Dec 2013 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2735Apr 07, 2014 10:43 am Haha thanks James I appreciate that hopefully something will happen soon! Good luck with your driveway this week Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2736Apr 08, 2014 9:45 am So I have been informed by the lovely SherryP that we have a port-a-loo on our block! Who would have thought a crapper sitting on our block would make me so excited haha. Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2737Apr 08, 2014 11:05 am ...and now the lovely James has informed me we are now getting scraped! Thanks James! Will be going for a drive with Vas at lunch time to check it out Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2738Apr 08, 2014 11:19 am congrats Nat!!! now it gets exciting!!!
